This is one of my favorite things about living in a (literally) inside-the-Beltway suburb of DC. The local governments are far enough left that I'm afforded civil rights protections, but the overall culture is accepting of a range of v

Facebook does such a good job of ad targeting these days, I've actually disabled adblock on the facebook.com domain. It's weird to be getting ads for products and services I actually want and wouldn't have known about if not

And if you were asking about air conditioning in the summer, that would be the answer. Moderately "oversizing" a furnace vs. the heat loss calcs doesn't cause major problems; for air conditioning it does, with an oversized un

I'm in a fairly expensive metro area and 10-year-old Priuses are about $3500. Not hard to find, and if a good mechanic does a pre purchase inspection and doesn't find anything major wrong - they are extremely reliable cars even no

DOD transferred two "obsolete" KH-11 spy satellites (which are pretty much evolved Hubbles) to NASA in 2012. They've been in storage since. So the scope for a "new build Hubble" is putting instruments on those sats,

I don't blame them, but it's reasonable for me to share my experience as a customer on review sites. So they shouldn't blame me for the one-star Yelp review they're getting, either.

Even in the US, I can't pay a $5000 invoice on a credit card. That's over the threshold where either they accept a purchase order, or we can't use them at all.

Frankly, it's because their acceptance criteria are less stringent. When I donate there, they're fine with no-longer-wearable clothes (rag grade) and even tube TVs, both of which are pay-to-dispose at the local dump. Goodwill, on

On this road, they're using e-tags that have a "HOV" switch on them. If you set it to "HOV mode", you're not charged a toll. The tag can't actually know how many people are in the car, so someone could che
